they look super cool! Are they safe to eat after? because even though I love decorating cool easter eggs, I also like to eat them and not just let them go to waste. Also, how did you get such bright colors? Thanks!

absolutely delightful! What cute eggs! …and so fun to make! I hopped over from Somewhat Simple and am so happy thay I did. I would love to invite you over to my place one day this week when you have a moment. until later…

Hey, there! I'm following you from the Trendy Treehouse's Follow Me Fridays. I LOOOOOVE this idea! Thanks – we're dying eggs tomorrow, and I was hoping to do something cool this year but wasn't coming up with any ideas. Just so happen to have rubber cement right here… Thanks!

We tried this idea but with a hot glue gun instead of the rubber cement. My Kindergartner Teacher Aunt said absolutely not to the rubber cement on something that you eat… Turned out cute with the glue gun, just have to be careful with the little fingers. Try to do that part a little early and then have the kids help peel it off…

THANK YOU!!! This was such a great idea!! I actually went to my mother's house and her and I did it to a few eggs too!! We also dyed some eggs pink then drizzled the glue over them… and dropped them in blue… so they came out purple with pink swirls!! You are awesome!!

Use paraffin wax melted in either a soup can in boiling water or a potpourri/ oil pot which is safer. Get different size art paint brushes, dip them in the wax and paint on eggs. Better than the wax crayons. Then dye as usual.

So cool! Honestly, it never would've occured to me about them being unsafe to eat. But then, we eat a lot of things around here that certainly wouldn't meet health dept standards, lol. I think I'll try hot glue though since I already have that. Can you even buy rubber cement anymore?

You can also use a white crayola crown and write on the egg. You can even spell names you just gotta remember where the last letter you wrote was but it is not that hard just write like you normally do then dye them as you normally would and when they dry the design or lettering from the white crown is showed in white. This works because the wax in the crayon is resistant to the dye. Oh, and you can totally eat these eggs too!

I LOVE this idea…and wouldn’t worry about eating them myself…(the kids could eat the “safer” ones). I’m 62 years old and we ate a lot of the things that now scare you youngsters. (sissies…lol) We used to use gold spray paint and have really cool looking eggs…and we ATE them too. *gasp!* I’m still living with no health problems except Rheumatoid Arthritis, which is hereditary. I had some rubber cement in the house…yes, you can still get it…I found it at my GROCERY store with the school supplies. Wish I had seen this before Easter…and I didn’t dye eggs until the night before, either!
